After Thailand he moved to London where he played a lot of $5/$10 and $25/$50 PLO online.

When it was time for the 2014 WSOP he only had two registered cashes to his name. It was a 12th place in the Norwegian championships for $5,129 and a 92nd at EPT Barcelona for $16,989.

Stephensen didn't even plan to play the Main Event, but a fortunate sports bet changed those plans. He got 60-1 on his money for Holland to beat Australia 3-2. Holland did has he predicted and with $1k on the line the night turned into a $60k success.

He decided to try out the Main and how that turned out is now history. With his $5m cash he jumped straight to the first place on Norway’s All Time Money List, ahead of players such as Johnny Lodden, Thor Hansen and Andreas Hoivold.
